A GRACEFUL ACT AND A GRACEFUL

A GRACEFUL ACT AND A Graceful
CHAIR.
Some days ago Messrs. William
son & Co.. mentioned in a letter to
Messrs. Haywood Banks & Co., tie
famous chair manufacturers of Bal
timore, the purpose of the managers
and friends of the Mission Hospital
of this city, to have bazaar some
time in August, for the benlft of
said hospital. Yesterday the sug~
gestion was acknowledged by the
receipt by Messrs. Williamson & Co.,
of one of the handsomest white cane
rocking-chair we ever saw, sent by
Messrs. Haywood Banks & Co., as
a contribution to the bazar. The
chair is beautiful in design, elegant~
ly finished, and will ornament any
apartment The managers of the
Hospital are very grateful to the
kind donors. The suggestion on
the part of Messrs. Williamson was
kindly, the act of Messrs. Haywood
Banks & Co., very graceful, and
the present is elegant and most ac-
ceptable. 1t can be seen at the
Furniture Emporium of William
son q Co., Patton Avenue.

The SALE OF TO-DAY.

THE SALE OF To-Day. ~
The sale of the Vanceproperty on Col
iege street, at public sale, to-day, at l o.
clock, A. M, is one ofthe mostimportant
that has yet attracted the public interest.
The property, in the very centre of the
city, almost under the shadow of the
tower of the court house, retains to the
present hour all the pleasant features of
its village origin, when space was plenty,
and each householder could, surround
himself within corporate limits, with
q domain as ample as if in the country.
Circumstances have combined to keep
the Vance property in almost its original
amplitude; and in the heart of popula-
ton and inthe thick of business, it stands
with all the freedom ofa rural residence.
Its eligibility, now that the day has come
to subject it to subdivision, will strike
every one proposing to become an inves-
tor; and there remains therefore little
for us to say except to remind the public
that to-day the sale is to take place

THE EVENT OF THE SEAsoN-ALL AsHE.
VILE AGoG OVER THE COMING ATrRAc-
TIoN.
The CITIZEN, after much laborious
efors has succeeded in getting thesdots
on q movement among certain of our
citizens which promises more excitement
and real pleasure to our pleasure-loving
people than any thing yet devised. 1t
has been the desire of the promoters of
the enferprise. to keen their ourpose
secret until AL arrangements could be
completed, bu- we cannot refrain from
preparing our .1iends for the feast which
is in store for item.
Several of our citizens recently met
and determined that they could organize
a club which would contribute to the
pleasure of our citizens and add TO the
attraction of the city for visitors. After
long deliberation it was concluded that a
base ball club, to be composed of a Fat
nine and Lean nine would be the most
successful enterprise they could enter
upon, and SO it was organized at one,
with the following drGntatiS pcrSonae:
Fdts-Judge Aston, Col. w. Il. Turk
Mayor Harkins, Hon. R. B. Vance, Capt
NJ. J. Fagg, 2. L. Brown, Esq, c. It.
Rawls, Esq, T. C. H. Dukes, Esq, Cnpt.
A. G. Hallyburton.
Ls0ns-Dr. Carmichael, j. Hardy Lee,
Esq. Ephraim Clayton Jr., ESQ.,, John G
Aston, ESQ.,, c. 3. Graham, Esq, II. H.
Redwood, Esq. DIR. S. Westray Battle,
H: B. Conant, Esq, Maj. W. P. Blair.
The uniforms have been ordered from
one Of the most artistic manufacturers of
such wares in Gotham, and they are ex-
pected daily. They will be of thin tights,
with jackets, the Fats wearing flesh col
ored tights with blue silk jackets, and
the Leans will be decorated in purple
colored silk tights with canary colored
jackets. The regulation baseball shoe,
specially intended for club feet will be
worn.
Col. Frank Coke has kindly consented
to act as umpire. Baron Lyman will
assist him.
The club is now putting in its time in
studying the rules of the game, making
private contracts with surgeons, and con-
templating the nashes their figures will
make when they don those beautiful
uniforms. Judge Aston and General
Vance haye ordered breast plates for
emergencies and other places.
Two games per geek will be played
during the summer, and we have no
doubt all business will be suspended up
on the evenings of the plays.
We are very certain our people will
await with impatience the announce
ment of the first game. There is fun
ahead for some body.

IBy Telegraph to the Ashevllle CitizenI
CHICAGO, July 8.-A Times special
from Lincoln, Neb., says: The
switchmen, numbering 70 men, On
the Burlington & Missouri road are
on strike. The trouble originated
over the appointment of Conductor
